Goats do Roam (Red) 2015
South AfricaNew World wine? Fairview Cellars was established in 1693. That's right. This is a blend of shiraz, grenache, mouvedre, petit syrah, carignan, cinsault from Paarl, aged in tanks and barrels. Ripe, juicy and smooth, this medium bodied, easy-drinking red carries smoked meats, cherries and stewed cassis to a short, clipped finish. There's a driving level of VA and some reduction brewing underneath the surface of this screwcapped wine which detract. That said, partnership with smokey beef ribs will mitigate.Tasted: 15 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $15.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
